New cantiliever attached |
| Description: |
Crews have attached the new cantilver and prepare to wire it. At exactly 12:00 noon, the lights went out on the old signals. The older style head on Main One is temporary until the new unilateral switch is installed at North Kannapolis. The heads will be reconfigured as two-light over two-light to give an "Approach Diverging." |

Steady as she goes |
| Description: |
The overhead portion of the old signal bridge at Kannapolis is lowered onto the flatbed of the crane truck. Soon they'll drive the truck downtown and offload it onto another flatbed. Before the day is done, the vertical pieces will be gone too. All that remains of the old signal bridge now is a pair of concrete bases. |
